365 Days of Cards

I received my Close to My Heart order today and received the Wood Slats Embossing folder. I used it with the Oh Deer! paper pack and the Yuletide Joy Stamp of the Month. I used the Sea Glass  ink for the bell. 

I strayed a little bit from cards today and instead started making Christmas tags. I used the following Close to My Heart products: Yuletide Joy stamp of the mont h Peacock ink Kraft cardstock Ribbon from the Enchantment Fundamental pack

The Yuletide Joy stamp of the month bell is perfect with Kraft cardstock, Sea Glass cardstock and my CTMH watercolor pencils . The bells do not have a coordinating Cricut cut, but it was very easy to cloud cut around them to get the bell shape.

Today's Throwback Thursday cards uses mostly old but the new Yuletide Joy stamp of the month. I used retired Lilac and purple glitter paper. I embossed the stamp in Silver Embossing Powder. I love how the Yuletide Joy stamp set has intricate detail that is perfect for embossing. Purple is truly a Christmas color representing Advent and royalty.

The Oh Deer! paper pack and the October Stamp of the Month, Yuletide Joy  coordinate perfectly together to create beautiful Christmas cards. I also added a strip of gold glitter cardstock and embossed the star in white embossing powder.
